Ali (commander of Oreja)

Ali was the commander of the Almoravid garrison of Oreja in 1137 during the Reconquista, known as a "notorious murder of the Christians" in the Trans Sierra of Spain. That year, King Afonso Henriques of Portugal laid siege to the city, and Ali decided to make an agreement with him; Ali would send for help from King Yusuf ibn Tashfin in North Africa and to other Spanish Muslims, and if nobody came to help him, he would give the castle over to Afonso.
